Dirt Tracker Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Pivot Firebird and its not nearly as cool as people on the internet think Chris Nixon at the Uitsig Bike Park had one for a while. Chat to him and he'll happily say that it was just too much bike for the CT / WC trails.
Headshot Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Chris Nixon at the Uitsig Bike Park had one for a while. Chat to him and he'll happily say that it was just too much bike for the CT / WC trails. I think that goes for many a bike - my Enduro included. It is fun to have a DH bike you can ride up and down though, and they do save you from yourself at times too. Yo-Yo, Duane_Bosch, Eddy Gordo and 1 other 4
Eddy Gordo Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Nixon is on another level. He will ride a xc bike down dh0,1,2,3 and probably say its too much bike. However i agree most of our enduro rigs are way too much bike, but a x bike wont save one the way am enduro bike does with all that extra squish. Yo-Yo and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2

Yo-Yo Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 It feels cumbersome to steer and the weight is so painfully obvious I'd never go near one, and I was a big fan Emphasis on WAS It's a balls out enduro EWS racer. Not saying you weren't riding hard but it need gnar, speed and steepness to make that thing come alive else it's going to feel more than a bit bloated on most trails here.

Grease_Monkey Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 For one week only I am selling my Evil the Following MB frame for a stupidly low price. I have my eye on something time sensitive, so if it can go this week someone is getting tje bargain of the year. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/347738-evil-the-following-mb-m-frame-one-week-special/ MrJacques 1
